Whenever a magazine cover featured two people, especially if it was two men, they desired a special distinction between the two people.

For example, if one of them looked arrogant and reserved; the other would be warm and mild.

Xiao Nian objected when Pei Zhen sneered at him earlier on. Did you really think Fu Sichen would take on the weaker role?

Pei Zhen kept quiet.

Oh. They were talking about the cover shoot.

He was just taking a flight of fantasy, focusing his thoughts on other things.

Of course hed take the weaker role. Daddy Pei was full of himself and had obviously given it thought. Im too aggressive.

Having experienced Fu Sichens cruelty and being forced into a new universe, Pei Zhen had learned a thing or two about gay love. At least, he knew that there was a more manly, or aggressive party.

He was so dashing, so there was no way hed be the submissive party.

Xiao Nian mercilessly retorted, Daddy, youre indeed aggressive. But, compared to Fu Sichen

Compared to you? The subject matter had returned from the toilet break. He looked at Xiao Nian coldly. Mr. Xiao, are you conspiring against your own artiste?

N-no, not at all, stammered Mr. Xiao.

He wanted to scream to vent his frustration. Only, under Fu Sichens glare, Xiao Nian only managed to break out in cold sweat and not speak unnecessarily. He then quickly escaped to the toilet.

Having sent away the lamp post, Fu Sichen felt a lot better. Pei Zhen

Pei Zhen turned and walked away, leaving Fu Sichen with a view of the back of his head.

Tsk. Fu Sichen wasnt angry, but rather looked at Pei Zhens back view with tenderness. Empty words. Obviously, you like me.

Whether The Back View heard it was anybodys guess, but it suddenly trippedThe Back View did not fall, only, the tips of its ears turned bright red.

The shoot started immediately once the makeup for Best Actor and Best Actor-to-be was completed.

Everything progressed quite smoothly.

Only, the positioning and presentation kept having problems.

Pei Zhen As long-time collaborators, Pei Zhen and the photographer knew each other well. The photographer glanced through the lens and appeared perplexed. You will need to appear less imposing.

For unknown reasons, Pei Zhen had an aura of strong aggression, much like a gangster on a mission to extort money. His strong presence easily equaled that of Fu Sichens.

Whats wrong with it. Pei Zhen snorted and gave a sideways glance at Fu Sichen, his tone unrelenting. Im no weaker than anyone else.

That placed the photographer in a difficult position. But The equally matched auras skewed the chemistry and balance of the picture and defied photography principles.

Small matter. Fu Sichen suddenly smiled, and volunteered to take a step back. Ill keep myself in check.

Wouldnt that mean letting Pei Zhen take the limelight?

The photographer thought for a bit and didnt object. Wang Youquan, who was standing on the side, couldnt bear to watch it, especially when Xiao Nian had gone as far as to apologize to him.

Sorry, sorry, our Pei Pei is indeed keen to take dominance.

Wang Youquan waved his hand. No, No, I should be the one apologizing on behalf of Best Actor Fu. Hes alright in most ways, but he has a bit of hidden agenda.

He was putting up an outward show of being big-hearted to feel good about himself. But the trap had been laid and was waiting for Pei Zhen to fall into it.

What? Xiao Nian didnt quite understand.

Wang Youquan felt a little guilty. Cough, cough, nothing. Dont worry, on our end Pei Zhen has been forgiven.

Xiao Nian couldnt figure out what it was exactly, but he felt Wang Youquan had just said something of significant consequence.

Not making any headway, he hesitated as he turned his eyes towards the photography studio.

Sharing the same frame, Fu Sichen didnt go shoulder-to-shoulder with Pei Zhen. Instead, he took a step back and placed his hand on Pei Zhens waist. It looked like an embrace.

Very slim waist.
